Romanization Scheme
- This schema only supports the LSHK Jyutping Romanization Scheme (粵拼 in Chinese):
- For users of other romanization schemes (e.g. Yale, EduHK), please download the corresponding patch file here.

While tone markers are not obligatory for typing characters, you may use the following keystrokes to specify the tone to disambiguate:
- v: High level, e.g.
siv→ 詩; High level checked, e.g.sikv→ 色 - x: Medium rising, e.g.
six→ 史 - q: Medium level, e.g.
siq→ 試; Medium level checked, e.g.sekq→ 錫 - vv: Low falling, e.g.
sivv→ 時 - xx: Low rising, e.g.
sixx→ 市 - qq: Low level, e.g.
siqq→ 事; Low level checked, e.g.sikqq→ 食
This schema does not support by default any fuzzy or 'lazy' pronunciations, i.e. pairs like n-/l- and ∅-/ng- are contrastive. If you want the schema to accommodate for fuzzy pronunciations, uncomment the relevant lines under the speller/algebra: section in the schema file. e.g. If you want the input method to support the n-/l- → l- merger, use:
# 取消下行註釋, 支援 n- 併入 l- , 如「你」讀若「理」
- derive/^n(?!g)/l/and redeploy. Then voila, lei hou will now be recognized internally as 'nei hou'.
This schema uses the OpenCC standard character set by default--coded as「傳統漢字」in the file. If you want to switch over to the Hong Kong, Taiwanese or Mainland Chinese standard, click Ctrl + ` and choose the relevant standard from the options list.
Click Ctrl + ` and then 2 to access the settings menu. Then, from the menu, choose 「有 Emoji」 to enable emoji input - doing so will allow the system to recognize and convert certain Chinese words into their corresponding emoji icons.
The full list of emoji icons can be found here.
Please use the following snippet under switches in jyut6ping3.schema.yaml to permanently enable emoji input.
- name: emoji_suggestion
# 取消下行註釋，預設啓動 emoji (i.e. uncomment the next line to permanently enable emoji input)
reset: 1
states: [冇 Emoji, 有 Emoji]This schema also allows the user to lookup Cantonese words with Putonghua Pinyin, Loengfan, stroke order and Cangjie code. Click the following button in edit mode to enable the respective reverse lookup option:
- Putonghua: `
- Loengfan: r
- Stroke order: x
- Cangjie (5th gen): v
You can also insert special symbols by / + symbol code.
